A Teesside club is celebrating a successful fundraising period over Christmas to help local charities.
The Middlesbrough Teesside Lions Club, which covers Middlesbrough, Redcar and East Cleveland, has raised more than £1,500. Events included a Santa Claus sleigh and a collection on the beach at the Boxing Day dip in Redcar.
Members of the club also delivered, or arranged for the delivery of, 40 parcels to selected households in the Middlesbrough and Redcar areas before Christmas.
